Most programming tutorials are effectively ads for the author. "Want to get hired? Write a programming blog" is advice I've received many times.

  Okay, but I have no problem with people sharing useful knowledge as personal advertising, so long as it's actually useful and not otherwise scummy (e.g. the Medium UX).

    But you're not ok with somebody selling you their useful knowledge?

      I'm okay with that too, I was just replying to the annoyed attitude toward people who market themselves with useful articles.
